And I'm announcing the start of a schism in the First United Church of The Flying Spaghettiism. You heretics of the noodly appendage beware, for it is by His Meatballs Alone that we are redeemed.

I'm calling it Ballism.

Relatively speaking, I'm new to FSM. Can anypirate tell me the difference between Pastafarian and Monsterist? Are pastafarians more into ritual and hence more big c catholic? Are monsterists more into the monsterous realities of Contemporary Existence and hence more Zen-Protest-Ant?

I was thinking Spaghetti Warehouse. They served some of the best spaghetti I'd ever had. Also, wouldn't Captain Morgan's be like holy water? "Anyone who drinks [too much of] it will be harmed by the power of its holiness."

"Those who invalidate reason ought seriously to consider whether they argue against reason with or without reason; if with reason, then they establish the principles that they are laboring to dethrone: but if they argue without reason (which, in order to be consistent with themselves they must do), they are out of reach of rational conviction, nor do they deserve a rational argument."

- the 10 commandments count 279 words, the declaration of independence of the 13 North American States of Anno 1776 counted 300 words. The European Union regulation on the import of caramel drops 1981 consists of 25.911 words.-

RAmen, I agree with you Skitarii we don't need to have a Pastafarian version of everything that exists in other religions. But everyone needs a place to gather... and you gotta admit fourthgeek's sketch is pretty cool.

At table or in the kitchen seems a good idea for a place of worship but me I like to eat in bed (I know, it can get messy with all the parmesan and the sauce...). I also like to attack last night's pasta the day after, as breakfast; this I do in a stealthy manner, invariably while standing up...

How about somewhere in Italy but not in Rome - there's this annoying old person there who speaks in public about his disagreement with other people jerking off, eewwww.
